Google constantly puts Youtube ads at the top of searches for information! Countless people put their information on Youtube in the form of videos! Tutorials get put on Youtube as a matter of course! There's a trove of old media on Youtube that can't be accessed any other way! Congratulations, you've won the award for the most thoughtlessly dismissive person on the internet today.

While the "recent troubles" put energy to my leaving, I have always been uncomfortable with Reddit, Twitter, Discord, Stack Overflow, Quora and Fandom, as corporate-owned repositories who work by, in one way or other, profiting off of freely contributed work.
It used to be that if someone wanted to help people with freely-given information, they'd offer it in a forum, on Usenet, or on a website they started and hosted themselves, or if it fit in there, put it on Wikipedia. Now, people add it to a freaking pile that corporations monetize. Don't just hand them value! Put it somewhere that won't beg you to install an app, or beg you to "upgrade" to "Nitro," or force you to watch intrusive ads, or force people to create an account to see it, or track you! Your volunteer labor should not be a profit center!
Even 20 minutes seems like too long, but that would still be wonderful.
They also hate the idea of phone trees. Companies don't care unless we make them not care.
Doom, for multiple reasons.
I have questions about how useful the basic information Dominos gets from me from their app will be to anyone. Android doesn't let them just harvest roaming data any more.
I used to work at a Dominos, and their side items have been ludicrously priced for a good while. There's usually a "coupon" in their app with a substantial discount on pizza, it's the only way I'd order from them.
It is true: Destiny 2 is rated by ProtonDB as "borked": https://www.protondb.com/app/1085660
But there are an awful lot of other games with high ratings there. The Steam Deck has done wonders for getting Windows games working under Linux.
Warning: this is secretly a Nethack thread!
So, the model was playing on average 2,000 points worse because the player was luckier? The things about werewolves and dogs is a factor but is statistically insignificant.
Nethack has a couple of other gotchas like this. They should be grateful they weren't playing on Friday the 13th....
The operator for ensuring something appeared in a search used to be "+", but they stopped using that for some ~?~^?^?mYsTeRiOuS rEaSoN^?^~?~?
What the heck is Dexerto?

I signed up for Loops the first day. I didn't get an email confirmation until two days after, and I still haven't been given a way to sign in.
